Jello Paint

easy to make jello paint for preschool and kindergarten
We made jello paint and the children really loved it.  It was super easy to do and it smelled so good!! 

You will need:

jello (any brand)
warm water
containers or muffin tin
something to stir with (we used craft sticks)

I started by putting about a third of the package of jello into small container.  I then put in enough warm water just to cover the top of the jello. Next I stirred the water and jello together and repeated with the other colors.

The paint mixture will be granular which will add a nice texture to the painting. It will take a few hours to dry but when it does it has a really nice shine to it. I used regular jello and not the sugar-free kind.

The mixture does thicken over time (hours) but you can always add more warm water or even make a new batch. You can see a video of how I made my jello paint by clicking below:

I just made some with my three year old twins. They are painting with it right now. Thank you so much for providing me with a great Monday morning activity!

Such a fun idea! Thanks! I'm going to cut out large egg shapes for poster board and let the children "color" large Easter eggs for artwork today. Thanks again!

I love this idea! I’m planning to use it in my preschool science class as we talk about sense of smell. Do you have any idea how long the paint lasts before it congeals?
